A few weeks ago we Dyed Pasta to make our own beaded necklaces for Mardi Gras. Here is a tutuorial on how to dye rice for crafts using the sam method.
What you need:
- White Rice
- Food coloring
- Rubbin Alcohol
- Zip lock bags
- baking sheets
Directions:
Separate the rice into ziplock bags. How many colors you make will determine how many bags you need. Place 3 cups of rice into each bag. Add 1/2 tsp. food coloring and 2 tbsp. rubbing alcohol to the rice. Seal bags and shake until rice is evenly coated.

Line baking sheets with foil and spread colored rice out onto the sheets. Air Dry for about 4 hours.

Tip: the smell of alcohol is very strong and I placed my baking sheets outside.
We are going to use our Dyed rice to make “I Spy” games…I’ll update you when they’re finished Image may be NSFW.
